My Viking Love Valentine Card

A Viking Girl surrounded by hearts — Viking Love Valentine Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Viking Love Valentine Card using the Brave Vikings Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! My Hubby loves history and especially Vikings! He even has a Viking outfit with sword tor Society for Creative Anachronisms events. So, it was a given that I would get this stamp set as soon as I saw it.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper that you can get for free with a qualifying hostess party. This paper is awesome! It has so many patterns for different occasions and seasons, and you get 48 sheets (4 each of 12 double-sided designs)! The colourful hearts are perfect for a Valentine card and the diagonal stripe paper matches those colours perfectly!

I used the Heart Punch Pack to punch out my DSP and matching scallop hearts. The little Poppy Parade stitched hearts are from the Give It a Whirl Dies. I scattered the hearts willy-nilly to mirror to the whimsey of the Stitched with Whimsey Die on the Basic White.

Once I stamped the Viking girl in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends to colour her using the colours pulled from the DSP. I then fussy cut her out. I placed her on the card so that she is pointing at the sentiment like she is saying the words. A scattering of Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels adds a bit of sparkle to the card.

My Neighbourly Birthday Wish for You

The Flintstones — My Neighbourly Birthday Wish for You

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Neighbourly Birthday Wish For You using the Prehistoric Family Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps! It’s my brother’s birthday today and we grew up on The Flintstones! So, I thought a fun slider card for his birthday would be right up his alley!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a full scene, but to fit all my characters, I went with a slimline card. Once I coloured my characters, I built my prehistoric card. So, much fun! There is a great video on the Kindred Stamps website on how to do this. I found that my card was a bit top heavy, and the awning kept getting caught. So, I add 3 strategical placed washers underneath the wheels. Voila! Fixed!

Of course, if you have a car, you need a road! So, I used the stencil that came with the kit, a blender brush and ink to create my road. Then, I die cut the Gray Granite with the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle since I wanted the stitching to frame my whole scene. Once that was done, I created my mechanism using the Heffy Doodle Pull Tab Dies and hid it behind the road. The clouds DSP was also die cut with the stitched rectangle to finish the frame of my scene. Once my scene was created, I added my characters finishing my prehistoric family!

You’re my Gingerbread Card

My Stampin' Up! Card with Gingerbread Cookies on It — You’re my Gingerbread Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my You’re my Gingerbread Card using the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

For my card, I wanted to use the Gingerbread Dies to die cut the images out of the Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper. I love that you can do this to create your cards! Great for mass producing your Christmas cards!

Paper with Gingerbread Cookies on It — Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper with Gingerbread Dies

I thought the Kraft paper would tie in nicely with the brown cookies in the DSP. Once I die cut it with the largest scallop die, I stamped the peppermint swirls all over it in Versamark. This tone-on-tone look adds a subtle bit of interested without taking away from the delicious cookies.

I also stamped in Versamark the sentiment on a piece of Real Red that I die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. This I embossed in white using my Heat Tool. I added the gingerbread trim in Basic White under my sentiment trimming it to fit the rectangle. I added a fun Gingerbread & Peppermint Acrylic Shape and a scattering of Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to tie in my colours and theme.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Frosted Gingerbread Bundle (156807), Scalloped Contours Dies (155560), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820)

Inks: VersaMark Ink Pad (102283)

Paper: Real Red (102482), Basic White (159276), Kraft 6″ x 6″ Paper Pack (156325), Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper (156313)

Accessories: Basics Embossing Powder (155554), Gingerbread & Peppermint Acrylic Shapes (156322), Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (146924), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Mini Glue Dots (103683), Heat Tool (129053)

My Steampunk Anniversary Card

September 23, 2021 Leave a comment

My Design Team Card — My Steampunk Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing My Steampunk Anniversary Card using Goth Dad and Goth Mom by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. In fact, I loved these cuties so much, that I created another card last year using the whole family. I will leave a link at the end of this post to that card.

I gave this fun card to my Hubby for our wedding anniversary this year. He loves anything steampunk and the Addams Family. So, I decided to add a steampunk vibe to my card with gears, a chain, a monocle, the Word Band, and my monochromatic colour scheme.

My Card Details

For my card, I decided that I wanted to colour the two images in black and white just like in the old TV series, but with a pop of red for the rose. I carried that colour scheme over with my paper choices and embellishments. The My Mind’s Eye paper was so perfect that I decided to make my card 6” x 6” and only cut off 1/8” for the card base. I lightly sponged Brushed Iron wax to my die cut corner gears to give them added dimension and placed them underneath Goth Dad. To mirror them, I place Cherry Cobbler die cut roses on the opposite corner underneath Goth Mom. A black doily helps to set off my focal point of the coloured stamps from the background.

For embellishments, I used a Tim Holtz Monocle and Word Band that mirror the Brushed Iron Wax in colour. I picked up the Ball Bead Chain from my local hardware store. The Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Red Rhinestone, tie in my pop of red colour.

My Envelope Details

Since I went with a 6” x 6” card, I need to create a custom envelope and my Envelope Punch Board came to the rescue.

I used some retired Stampin’ Up Designer Series Paper that carried the monochrome theme over from the card. I used a sponge dauber to dab Cherry Cobbler Ink to the roses on the paper to tie in my pops of red. Some black lace fiber blend tied my envelope together with a seal and gold heart sticker holding the ends together.

Inside of My Envelope with My Anniversary Card — Inside of My Envelope with My Design Team Card

For my tag, I used the gear tag die with the Brushed Iron Wax on the front of it and a piece of the rose paper.

Front of my Tag — Front of Gear Tag with Rose

On the back of the tag, I used a piece of Graphic 45 paper that had the words “Mon Amour”. Gomez and Morticia are always speaking endearments in different languages to each other. So, I thought this would tie in my theme.

Finally, the last thing I created was for the inside of my card. I took all the endearments that they said in the show and created a graphic with them.

My Otter-ly Love Anniversary Card

My Anniversary Card for my Hubby — My Otter-ly Love Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Otter-ly Love Anniversary Card using From The Otter Side by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. Today is our 27^th Wedding Anniversary and this is one of the cards that I gave my Hubby.

Aren’t these two otters just the cutest with their heart shaped tummies! My Hubby loves otters. In fact, there is a YouTube channel that he loves to watch that is all about two otters, Kotaro and Hana, and the antics that they get up to living in an apartment in Japan!

For my card, I decided that I wanted to create a fun “watery” scene for my two otters. So, I pulled from my stash some Designer Series Paper that had fish and waves on it and die cut it into a heart. I embossed the Detailed Dots onto the Pacific Point background to represent water bubble. I love the detail of the Memory Box wave die! In fact, I loved it so much that I made two layers with one being in Vellum! I couldn’t resist having one of the cute otters holding a wooden heart! How perfect for an anniversary card! The fun puny sentiment “To my Otter Half” was white embossed on a strip of Pacific Point with a couple of heart embellishments. A couple more wooden hearts and some water droplets on the waves all add to my anniversary/watery scene!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Pansy Hello Card using the Pansy Petals Suite which includes the Pansy Patch Stamp Set, Pansy Dies, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and Bumblebee Trinkets by Stampin’ Up! Don’t you just love the details of that layered 3D pansy!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the Basic Border Dies with the beautiful DSP! So, I created an envelope liner look that allowed me to wrap the Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon around it. I pulled my colours from the DSP to create my gorgeous pansy. There are so many different colour combinations that you can create with the dies. There is even a die that can cut out some of the pansies in the DSP. I embossed the sentiment in white on a strip of Bumblebee card stock that I had left over from another project. I always save them just in case I can use them. What do you do with these scraps? The finishing touch was the sweet Bumblebee Trinket!

My Summer Dreams Card

August 14, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I can’t believe that Summer is almost over! So, in the hopes of making the summer last a little bit longer, I am sharing My Summer Dreams Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using the sweet Summer Dreams. This image would be perfect for so many occasions like Birthday, Mother’s Day, Thinking of You, Wedding to name just a few!

Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured this sweet image with my Copic markers to match the beautiful Botanical Tea paper by Graphic 45. I had a lot of fun colouring all those waves and curls in her hair and look at those pleats! Omgoodness! Such colouring fun!

I have been wanting for a while to use the Stitched Greenery Dies by Stampin’ Up! and thought that they would make a perfect subtle mat for my focal point. I die cut the Botanical Tea paper and my coloured image with the Labels Seventeen in two consecutive layering dies. I used my Blending Brush to add some Vintage Photo ink to the edges of all my paper and die cuts. Next, I turn the larger one on its side and punched two holes in it at one end and threaded ribbon through the holes for an unexpected touch.

To add to the botanical theme, I added a leaf trinket so that it looks like it is attached to the ribbon. I found a paper flower that matched my colouring perfectly. To add some matching blue embellishments, I coloured rhinestones with my B34 Copic markers and scattered them here and there.

My Father’s Day Card

June 17, 2021 2 Comments

Today is I am sharing My Father’s Day Card that is using the Handsomely Suited Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I decided to create a Centre-Step Fun Fold card with the shirt on the centre panel. There is a link at the end of this post to a Horizontal Centre-Step Template.

The Details of My Card

My Father-in-law isn’t a suit kind of guy, but he does wear golf shirts in blues. So, I created a short sleeve golf shirt using the Well Suited Designer Series Paper. For the sleeves, I used the pocket die and the shirt was die cut from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I trimmed the stitched rectangle to 4 ¼” after it was die cut to fit an envelope. A number of his shirts are Lacoste with a small green allegator on the left side. Since I didn’t have any alligator dies, I used the hearts from the paws of the Pets Dies. I also figured that having a heart to represent his real heart was perfect for Father’s Day!

For my sentiment, I didn’t think “Have a Happy Father’s Day Handsome” coming from both my husband and I would be appropriate for my father-in-law. So, I used the technique of covering the part of the sentiment that I didn’t want with scotch tape. Then, I inked the stamp up and removed the tape before stamping. Once the sentiment was stamped like this, I discovered that it fit perfectly in one of the dies from the Tasteful Labels Dies. The Pacific Point banner that flanks my sentiment was also from the Tasteful Labels Dies, but it wasn’t long enough to show on both sides of my sentiment. So, I cut in half giving the illusion that my banner is longer than it is.

For my other panels, I used the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper since he is a very handy man and likes to build things with wood. The Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder was perfect for that material kind of look it gives my card.

Tips for Cutting/Scoring Card Base

At 1 ¼” from the edge of the long side of card stock cut from 1” to 5 ¼” using the Paper Trimmer blade guide. Once I cut one side, I flipped the card stock over to cut the other side. Make sure that your new cut line will be parallel to the first one. Turn so that the long edge of card stock is horizontal and score side panels at 1”, 2” and 5 ¼” and 4 ¼” for the centre panel. To download a PDF file, please see the template link at the end of the post or click the image below.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Handsomely Suited Bundle (156240), Tasteful Labels Dies (152886), Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820)

Inks: Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Pad (147110)

Paper: Night of Navy (100867), Pacific Point (111350), Poppy Parade (119793), Basic White (159276), Well Suited Designer Series Paper (154562), In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494)

Measurements:

Night of Navy: 5 ½” x 8 ½” (see template for score marks), scraps (collar, buttonholes)
Well Suited Designer Series Paper (3 pieces): 3” x 4 3/8” (trimmed to 4 ¼” after die cut to fit envelope), scraps for sleeves

My Angel Messenger Card

June 9, 2021 2 Comments

My Design Team Inspiration Card — My Angel Messenger Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my first Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the sweet digital stamp Angel Messenger by Conie Fong Art & Design. This is such a pretty image and can be used for so many occasions like Birthday, Sympathy, Get Well, Thinking of You and so on.

For my card, I had some leftover paper from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps 2021 Spring Mini Retreat Weekend that I really loved with soft pinks, greens and purples. So, I used that to pull out my colours for my Copic markers. Once I coloured her wings, I used Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle. Of course, all Angels have radiant wings! I love this paper so much that I used it for all my dies cut pieces including the bird and branches. The paper pad even has beautiful tags. I couldn’t resist fussy cutting one out and adding it with a pretty bow. A perfect setting for my die cut bird! A scattering of rhinestones and sequins were the only embellishments that my card needed.

As You Wish Card

June 7, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my As You Wish Card using the Twoo Luv Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! Princess Bride is one of my favourite movies ever! So, when I saw Kindred Stamps has this stamp set, I couldn’t resist buying it!

This is another super-fast card to make since the stamps colour up so quickly and the background paper is from the Enchanted Forest Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps. I used my Copic markers to colour my characters to match the characters in the movie. I thought this slimline paper was perfect to represent the ‘Fire Swamp’ in the movie where Westley and Buttercup meet the R.O.U.S.’s (Rodents of Unusual Size)! The only other thing that needed to be added was the sentiment which I embossed in white on black cardstock. Easy-peasy!

I Love Paris Card

My Design Team Card I Love Paris — I Love Paris Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my last Design Team card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. I have decided to step down from the Design Team to spend more time with my family. For my I Love Paris Card, I decide to use my favourite RAM stamp called ‘Paris’ Digital Stamp. Nothing is more beautiful than Paris any time of the year, even when it’s raining! We love to visit Paris as much as possible and have been there 4 times so far! In fact, my character as a Design Team Member had a little Eiffel Tower on her sweater. Isn’t she a cutie!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the Letters From Paris Paper Pack from Wild Rose Studio. So, I coloured with my Copic markers to match the colours of my paper. The Amour word was perfect since Paris is known as the City of Love! Don’t you just love the Eiffel Tower charm with the linen thread tied in a bow to the flag! I used clear epoxy raindrops interspersed between the raindrop that sparkle from my Gelly Roll Pen because even the rain in Paris is magical!

My Secret Garden Card

My Secret Garden Design Team Card — My Secret Garden Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Secret Garden Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This pretty digital stamp is called Sweet Annabelle. She is perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday, thinking of you and so many other card occasions!

I love the Secret Garden Paper that I have in my stash and have been keeping it for a special card. So, I decided to use it for my card and coloured Annabelle with my Copic Markers in softs pinks, blues and purples to match. I added Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the dots on her apron and on her hair bow for a little bit of sparkle.

For the card base, I embossed a die cut piece of Highland Heather with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder to give Annabelle a subtle floral backdrop. From that I layered the leaves so that they are wrapped around the tag that came with the paper pad. A few hydrangeas made with a punch tie in the colours of my colouring. For the pearl flower centres, I coloured them with my Y17 Copic markers to match the flowers in her basket.

My Penguin Love Valentine Card

February 13, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s Laurie here! I am so excited to be joining Conie Fong Art & Design as a Guest Design Team Member again for February with my My Penguin Love Valentine Card! For my February GDT card, I am using 2 different stamps. The top penguin is called Penguin Heartstrings bottom penguin is called Penguin Bundle of Love. Aren’t they just the cutest!

I coloured both of these stamps with my Copic markers in the traditional Valentine colours of pink and red. I then, decided that I wanted both of them on the same card. So, I went with a slimline card with lots of hearts for Valentine’s Day! For the sentiment, I used markers to colour just the part of the stamp that I wanted and then “huffed” (technical term lol) on it to activate the ink. For a bit of sparkle, I added glossy accents to the penguins’ beaks, feet and the heart that the Penguin Bundle of Love is holding. I also added Star Dust Stickles to the heartstrings of the other penguin. One final touch is a scattering of Red Rhinestones.

My True Love Card

January 21, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My True Love Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the sweet ‘Flowers for You’ Digital Stamp. This stamp is perfect for that special someone on Valentine’s Day!

I love it when I receive flowers from my Hubby and this stamp reminds me of those wonderful moments! So, I coloured with my Copic Markers the couple to look like us. I created a bouquet that mimics the bouquet that the boy is giving the girl, but I added some ribbon, linen thread and a heart trinket all mounted on a filigree die cut heart. For the Detailed Hearts Die cut, I cut it in half and then offset it in opposite corners. A heart paper clip and red rhinestones along with Clear Gelly Roll Pen on the hearts and Clear Wink of Stella on the large heart add a bit of sparkle and whimsy. I angled my coloured focal point so that you could see the paper beneath that says My True Love. That is what my card is all about.
